Hi. This problem/question is really not in the scope of this list. You would be better served on a generalist flash forum.
That being said, the way you could handle it on the client-side is to expose a ExternalInterface method to js from Flash which will return you what you need. When you press the stop button, it invokes the js method and passes the metadata info. accessing metadata of a video within Flash: https://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000267.html ExternalInterface: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/638/1/Basics-of-using-the-ExternalInterface/Page1.html Cheers, Aran On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 3:24 PM, rosenblatt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I record audio/video using a flex recorder.
